Saaz
Giới thiệu
Saaz (Žatecký poloraný červeňák) is the defining noble hop of Czech brewing, cultivated in the Žatec region for over 700 years. Its delicate earthy, spicy character is inseparable from the identity of Czech pilsner. Low alpha acid means large quantities are required, filling the kettle with its refined aroma.
